The short answer

The closest alternative to the Casio GA-1000 is the Casio PRG-270 ($200) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio AEQ-110W at $55 (vs $180 for the GA-1000) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Elliot Brown BEACHMASTER is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Citizen Promaster Aqualand 200M Depth Meter ($769) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
